In response to the climate change emergency, a set of practical steps and recommendations have been created with the aim of helping churches reduce their energy use and associated carbon emissions.  We are aware that this can be a daunting task and thus have divided up the guidance into bitesize steps. 

The guidance is there to offer ideas and help churches plan on how to reduce their energy consumption.  A church can work through these steps at their own pace and Step 4 may not be feasible for every church.  But as more churches work on reducing their energy use, it will cumulatively make a difference in the right direction.  

If you are planning to property project, you may wish to refer the general core guidance for the Property Development Pathways and specifically, the guidance for Net Zero Carbon pathway.  

For information on funding for Net Zero works see Fundraising for Net Zero Projects.
